A smooth process relies on digital preparation done from home. Guests provide their details in advance using the AIDA ID and the myAIDA portal. There, they also book a binding time slot. Upon arriving at the terminal, heavy luggage is handed over directly in the forecourt. The building itself is architecturally divided to keep arriving and departing passengers completely separate.
At the kiosk, the actual express check-in usually takes less than a minute. The ID document is scanned, a security photo is taken, and the boarding pass is printed. From there, the way to your cabin, whether on the starboard or port side, is just a short walk. However, staff members are still available for any questions or problems. They can now focus much more on providing personal assistance to the guests.
Despite this incredible speed, security and data protection always remain the highest priority. All travelers and their carry-on luggage undergo a strict screening according to the maritime ISPS code. Furthermore, biometric data is promptly deleted after the trip. The result of this logistics system: guests are often on board in under 20 minutes. They start their break stress-free and can immediately enjoy the ship's amenities.
